Paul,

Conservative governments have almost always spent less than socialist governments to the point where I cannot think of an exception. Two prime examples are in Queensland where Labor has grown the bureaucracy to record levels and is taking the state debt to Greece like levels, and NT where labor has come cap in hand to the federal government as its debt reaches historic levels but is also not prepared to reduce spending. If you look at the %GDP expenditure by government the increases are almost always by the left whinge

Belly,

The "illness" that enabled Trump's election was in the Democratic party who lost the unloseable election due its abandoning the working classes.

Foxy,

Still suffering from the delusion of objectivity?

I find it interesting how frequently you and the other left whingers post or link polemics from left whinge authors and then try to use them as a foundation for a rational debate on the liberal party. It is like flat earthers discussing gravity.

Those on the right or more conservative MPs are still a far cry from One Nation, and whilst despised by the left whingers, and "getting rid" of them would not improve the vote of the liberal party as a large chunk of voters would simply move to the conservative party or something similar, as happened with the labor party whose voters jumped ship to the fringe greens.

I believe that the real damage to the liberal party can clearly be laid at the feet of Turnbull who thought that he could simply ignore the old guard, and effectively split the party. That SM is doing a great job to reunite the party is too little too late.

CM //Communists don't believe in individual or cultural ownership of property- they were and are willing to take extreme action to create this system.//

That maybe so, but it has no relevance to any major political party in Australia, and that includes the Labor and Green parties. Are you trying to create something out of nothing?

Shadow Minister,

You've just
proven the point that Lenore Taylor made in her
article in The Guardian. Delusions of
objectivity? You need to allow yourself to read
other sources than that of News Corp.
Go on - live dangerously and give it a go. It just
may shed some light.

Foxy,

I read articles from 3 or 4 news agencies every day incl the SMH, the Australian, the ABC and the Guardian. I would suggest that you broaden your news diet as well, as you seem unable to differentiate between objective assessment and a polemic.

P.S. I am not the one claiming to be unbiased.
